B36 News - 15 August 2006

"I though I'd start off today's news with a picture that I took of myself on the Blackhawk that I rode back to the IZ. It's kinda spooky, but kinda cool. I recently met a Polish freelance photographer, Jordan Lewandowski, via email. His website, MJL Photography, showcases his work which I must say is impressive and was the final push I needed to start getting up early to take pictures of the sunrises. I'm nowhere near his level, but practice makes perfect.

On with the news!

Clearing Baghdad isn't going to be a quick operation, door-to-door searches never are and when you're doing it in a city of roughly 5 million you've got to take your time. Managing the public's expectations is a tricky task and is one that I'm very glad I don't have, but MG Caldwell knocks it out like a pro ... I guess because he is a pro. Anyway, in a culture of instant gratification people need to be reminded that winning takes time. If you take time away from us we won't be able to do our job properly."
